Choosing out of the 3 starters took me quite a long time
[quote=MyMemoir]@Braviary: Fire types? Entei, Flareon, Arcanine, Typhlosion. They're practically all useless. Lol.
Megahorn, just put other attacks to make up for the lack of accuracy with it.[/quote]
That's terrible logic.
Finally found a legitamate way to catch mew and he is
Pretty powerful
[quote=MyMemoir]@Braviary: I know, but some of the Pokemon I would like to use are not* usable against Tyranitar and all that. This stealth rock business really kills my favorite fire types too.[/quote]
LOL That reminds me of a while ago I was watching my brother play 4th gen competitive (5th gen wasn't out yet) and of course, if anyone played 4th gen, you would know SR on a team was pretty much mandatory. Anyways, he set up his SR and turns out the other guy had a Fire type only team. Not only that, his last two pokes were Moltres and Charizard. 50% damage upon switch in, my brother and I were dying lololololol
@MyMemoir:
What are you favorite Pokemons?
Anyways, Megahorn or X-Scissor for Escavalier?
@MyMemoir:
NU tier exists for a reason.
@Watermelon:
Slower Pokemon gets to move first for five rounds.
It's very useful considering some Pokemon, such as Armaldo, have low speed but good other stats. Under Trick Room, Armaldo can move first and kill fast before switching to some bulky setter such as Cof(a)grigus or Musharna.
How does trick room works? I have never gotten the idea. People say it's a very good move but it sounds like total trash when I check it from bulbapedia.
How is this critical troll trick room set for Absol?
Blondie (Absol) (F) @ Scope Lens
Trait: Super Luck
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 (one of the defenses)
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Sucker Punch
- Psycho Cut
- Stone Edge
- Superpower
I wana play Poke park <3 <3
[quote=Darklerty]@ClassOf12: LOL I'll stick to my PO. Sub-Swords Dance Gliscor isn't that hard to deal with, but those bulky Toxic-stalling ones get on my nerves. >.< And Forretress is still good in OU even though it seems like Ferrothorn does a better job. Having a spinner that also sets up hazards is good in my books anyday.[/quote]
That works too. You can PM me your PO name if you wanna battle me.
By the way [url=http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85126]read this[/url]
Lugia: It's so cool in The Power of One
Mew:It has the cutest voice ever (Especialy in MO8 Lucario and the mystery of mew)
Espeon: One of the starter pokemons in Colloseum and XD. I love the little fluffy tuffs beneath their ears.
Favorite Game: Pokemon XD A gale of Darkness
Favorite Movies: The Power of One and Lucario and the Mystery of Mew
Favorite episode: Pikachu's goodbye (Season 1 Episode 38 (I think))
Favorite Character: James (He's just an idiot so he's funny)

[quote=Darklerty]OU = Politoed/TTar or the rare Ninetales on every other team. Venasaur's OU because of Drought in OU, giving it Chlorophyll boost and 1 turn solarbeams as long as your Ninetales can keep the sun up. Also, a 160 base speed sleep powder in the sun WILL cripple something. Oh, and Growth got buffed to become a +2att/spatt move in the sun.
MOST MOST MOST standard you'll see on almost every team will probably be stuff like Ferrothorn, Scizor, Latios, Dragonite, Rotom-W...and Terrakion. Oh god Terrakion. Choiced Terrakion is a monster. Glad to see I'm not the only one in this thread who plays competitive.[/quote]
This is why I only play UU now
That and Gliscor. I miss using Forretress a lot though
By the way [url=http://pokemonshowdown.com/]battle simulator[/url]
[quote=Akatsuki0826]I don't pay attention to the meta game much anymore. Is it true that 5th gen OU is full of weather teams now? What are like, the really standard OU pokes for 5th gen? I'm just curious to see what I missed. Heard Venasaur was OU, wtf is that about.[/quote]

Sapphire was my first and favorite. Later played Gold, Silver, and Blue. Soul Silver was amazing. The newer Diamond, Platinum, White were all nice (well I got them all) but Sapphire is still my favorite.
Favorite pokemon: Dragonite for sure. Munchlax and Snorlax come pretty close though.
Favorite of the Gens
1st Gen: Arcanine, Blastoise, or Rapidash. (not including my favorite of all time)
2nd Gen: A lot but unlike in my 1st gen picks I narrowed it down to one - Scizor (no doubt, but Tyranitar is a close second)
3rd Gen: Metagross or Manectric.
4th Gen: Honchkrow, Garchomp, Munchlax, Lucario, Electivire, and Mamoswine (all those extra evolutions they added to older pokemon were just so sexy) (my brother always liked Rhyperior but I liked Electivire, poor Magmortar)
5th Gen: Samurott, Sawk, Krookodile, Dwebble, Solosis (cuter than Reuniclus but otherwise looks the same), Haxorus, Mienshao, Golurk, and Bisharp. A lot for this Gen but even though it looks like I loved 5th Gen, I still like the other Gens better.
Favorite pokemon quote; "A Bouffalant is just a Tauros from the 80's" (Both of these also close to making my top favorites)
Favorite pokemon anime character : May or Max. (loved Hoenn just so much)
Honestly I can't wait til I find a shiny without cheats. I've never seen one and have logged over 100s of hours between all my pokemon games. (I know my current diamond alone racks up around 140)
And really I'm not excited or excited about the newest game coming out but I know I'll still get it cause I love pokemon haha!
EDIT: VFL (Virgin4Lyfe)
Jigglypuff is the sexiest pokemon out there <3
I caught my Darkrai wih a repeat ball, that was pretty cool, right now i'm working on my Diamond version to get the 6 dragon types that aren't legendaries I have 5/6 and 3 of them are level 100.
The anime is just </3 without Brock
My pokemon red version is glitched. Razor leaf is always a critical hit.
[quote=iamviper]Anybody like my Soul Silver Team? I'm a little after the part of beating Clair
Lv.46 Feraligatr

Too many legendaries. </3
[quote=Didamachaaan]-facepalm-
What do you call Voltorb? Muk? What about Weezing?[/quote]
Voltorb - Volt Orb - Electric Orb - Voltorb is an electric ball(orb)
Muk - Muck - Muk is a pile of sludge(muck)
Weezing - He wheezes(Weezing wheezes, koffing coughs)
My god all you genwunners. U all annoy me. . WTF IS THIS, a garbage pokemon? OMG I LOVE Muk. Seriously you guys, even if the Pokemon aren't as unique, they is still a lot of good ones. I mean, they can't all be good.
[quote=NotUoid]ANYONE REMEMBER THE 109238193812309 PAGE POKEMON DISCUSSION WITH THE SPACE PERIOD
or am i too old[/quote]
The one by Kewleh?
I actually saw her post recently, I thought she left though
I don't pay attention to the meta game much anymore. Is it true that 5th gen OU is full of weather teams now? What are like, the really standard OU pokes for 5th gen? I'm just curious to see what I missed. Heard Venasaur was OU, wtf is that about.
I like pokemon emerald the best.
R.I.P. anime. It's horrible without brock. That green haired guy just compares everything to food </3
By far, my favorite of all the games has to be crystal. (For Gbc.) 2. Being Emerald.
Competitively speaking, new Dream World Serperior with Contrary is gonna make it at least UU. Choice Specs or Scarf Serperior with STAB Leaf Storm raising its Sp.Atk 2 stages every time it attacks is for sure worthy enough to get it out of NU.
I remember being frustrated as hell trying to capture the legendaries in the first, second, and third generations with poke-balls and ultra-balls.. o.o
Lol agreed^ instead of using animals as Pokemon, it's all random objects now. Tv Pokemon, snowcone pokmeon, and stuff x.o weeaboo
i read the brock quote normally.
then suddenly i thought of it dirty.
Has anyone ever used the wifimax Nintendo USB thing? I tried following a video online to get it to work, but it wasn't working. And it's basically the only way I'll be able to use my wifi on my DS at home
As soon as I get it to work, I'll be able to battle in 4th gen games with people
